The Challenge of Achieving a Liberal Order — The American Magazine
8 weeks ago by ehanneken
Arnold Kling reviews <em>Violence and Social Orders</em>, by Douglass North, Barry Weingast, and John Wallis; and <em>The Origins of Political Power</em>, by Francis Fukuyama. To me it sounds as though the authors are elaborating on Franz Oppenheimer.

Bruce Schneier's Latest Book
10 weeks ago by ehanneken
Arnold Kling reviews <em>Liars and Outliers</em>, by Bruce Schneier. I'm not sure how literally I'm supposed to take Arnold's comments about the "utopian visions" of the left and of libertarians. A few Marxists may believe in their own ability to change human nature, but I can't think of <em>any</em> libertarians who believe that reputations obviate the need for police and courts.

Government Cannot Create Sustainable Jobs: Useful jobs don't exist until producers discover them. Stimulating demand can at best return an economy to the pre-slump status quo.

This is probably the best short introduction to PSST business cycle theory that Arnold Kling has yet written.

Some Questions About Government, Arnold Kling
january 2012 by ehanneken
Arnold Kling meditates on the flaws of large organizations, and wonders why government-enthusiasts believe their favorite institution is immune to them. At least large corporations are vulnerable to competition from new firms (unless a government prevents that).

Joseph Stiglitz Crosses Nick Rowe
december 2011 by ehanneken
Joseph Stiglitz tries to explain the Great Depression using aggregate demand and a gain in farm productivity. He fails because he doesn't take account, as Bastiat would say, of that which is not seen. Arnold Kling thinks farm productivity is an important part of the explanation, but he jettisons aggregate demand in favor of PSST.

Notes for a Debate
january 2011 by ehanneken
I think Arnold's good and bad spirits are just metaphors for most people's tendency to overrate motives (greed vs. "concern for the public interest"), and underrate constraints and incentives.
